I was out and about earlier today, which included a stop at the Mall. I was in a store, waiting to be helped. I engaged in conversation a woman who was just ahead of me in line. She was my age, maybe a few years younger (I am a geezer). She had on a hoodie. It was cool here today, so a hoodie was actually appropriate, but not pulled up inside the always-70-degree Mall.
We were in a store that sells (relatively) high value small items that are easy to steal, and commonly are. We talked about that for a bit. The conversation got around to the Trayvon Martin case ( I kinda steered it there, but not in too obvious a way.)
Yup, she was not a normal hoodie wearer. She was wearing hers with the hood up as a statement.

But in the last few days I have noticed many many people wearing hoodies on the bus, at the store, on the street. And I live in a more white than not community.

(20,600 posts)Personally I would never wear a hoodie, and think they look stupid. That is one fashion trend I could do without.

Frank, even here, in "the third most wealthy county in the US", we have more diversity than you do in your unabomber-like cabin up there on the roof of Nebraska, so can the shit and get a new schitck. In fact, instead of a new schtick, get a life that involves human contact.
